About This Event

The Head Gardener at Ascott leads a tour of the grounds. The walk includes the Madeira Walk, Cherry Dell, and Richard Long’s Ascott Circle.

Explore highlights such as the Madeira Walk, Cherry Dell, Richard Long’s iconic Ascott Circle, and more, as Ian (Ascott's Head Gardener) shares stories, design ideas, and horticultural details that shape these remarkable spaces. You’ll also enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit to our working glasshouses and nursery.

There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn more about how the gardens are nurtured and developed throughout the year.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear suitable footwear. The route involves steps and uneven paths. Each tour lasts approximately 120 minutes and finishes at the Tea Room. Afterwards, why not treat yourself to a delicious hot drink or a slice of cake?
